G.I. Joe Movie Starring Mark Wahlberg as Duke?

Mark Wahlberg as Duke in Live Action G.I. Joe?!

di Bonaventura says they will start working on GI Joe immediately after they finish working on Transformers. Plus, guess who he has in mind to play Duke? None other than Shooter star, Mark Wahlberg.

Yo Joe! Can this movie work? The success of Transformers will be a pretty clear indicator. Wahlberg as Duke? Interesting choice.

The movie is said to be set before the rise of the COBRA organization, the film will show how the man the world will one day call Cobra Commander created his terrorist organization and honed it into a worldwide threat. Other COBRA characters, such as Destro and Stormshadow, are being planned to be included in the film. As for who is on the JOE team, look for appearances by the team’s main players, such as Duke, Hawk and Snake Eyes.

You can probably bet on seeing Scarlett, Roadblock, Baroness, and Zartan as well.
